I just received a relic from the past, an M82, hopefully working and all that jazz. This thing is very personal and dear to me, as it''s the very M82 that used to be on display at my local toy store when I was a kid.

Either way, I was hoping to sort of spitshine the whole thing and have it ready and running on display as part of the retro exhibition area of a local Sci-Fi Festival this spring, and I'm now hoping to be able to print a new label for the front panel on it, as the old one hasn't exactly survived 25 years of being in storage.

If anyone has this piece of artwork in some archive, tucked away, that'd be awesome. Same applies if someone has a similar unit and could just do a set of close up shots of theirs or something (or better; scan it)

Sort of what I feared. Heck, most M82s I've seen are just the unit and not "complete" with a display case for it (This one is partly broken, though, as the holster for the Zapper has been torn off, so would have to create a new one of some sort)

But as you say, fortunately, it probably shouldn't be too hard to replicate (assuming I'll get ahold of the artwork for all the boxes displayed on it).

Nice find! Maybe try and get in touch with the GameTechUS guy on YouTube. He's been through one of those with a fine toothed comb. He might be able to help diagnose any issues, and possibly point you in the direction of an owner with a clean one for high res photos or scanning. Just a thought.

System works perfectly. Put up a terribly edited video on my Facebook the same day as I got home with it; YouTube mirror here.

Only issue is that the pin/switch to set the timer with on the back seems to be broken off, so it's stuck at 30 sec resets at the moment. Hopefully, if I can't replace the switch on short notice, at least I can probably use something like a screw driver or something to gently turn it to other positions.

Seems like he didn't have his M82 anymore. (Also, seems like he didn't have a stand w/holster when he had it either - darn) Did give me a few handy tips on how to shine it up a bit, though.

Guess the search continues or the need for a few moments of Photoshop intensifies (+got access to a 3D printer, so at least I can print a new holster if I can get the design/measurements for that too).
